annoying obligations Explanation: See the link for examples of "annoying obligation". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 58 mins (2011-06-06 02:44:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- An example from a blog at http://inlandutopia.com/tag/retail/ "At the store I work at we are asked to obtain the customer’s email addresses so they can attain our advertisements and coupons. I know this is an annoying obligation that the store employees are asked to do when customers are already on the list or do not want another email to be added to their inbox."
